Like my colleague, Mr. McHenry, I also am rising because I do oppose this amendment, saying that the Department of Defense has to limit what they do and decide how they can recruit. And mainly, it's micromanaging. The biggest issue here is…

by number of sources- just before the November 3 election my 5- year-old grandson, Jake, asked his mother if we were going to be electing a new President, and upon being told, no, we already have a President, Jake replied: No, we do not; he lied2 sources1997congress.gov
- Mr. Speaker, the Child Custody Protection Act is important to any parent who has a teenaged daughter. We all hope that our teenaged daughters have the wisdom to avoid pregnancy, but if they make a mistake, a parent is best able to provide advice and counseling. Also, more importantly, the parent knows the child's past medical history. For these reasons, my home State of North Carolina, along with several other States, requires a parent to know before their child checks into an abortion clinic. This law is needed because of stories chillingly similar to the story of a Pennsylvania mother and the tragic story of her 13-year-old daughter.2 sources2002govinfo.gov
- The defense appropriations conference report provides the tools and the resources for our military to wage an aggressive war against terrorism while defending our Nation against ever-changing military threats. Each generation of Americans has been called to defend our freedom. Each time, our forefathers and mothers have answered the call. Our generation's time of national trial has come. We are being called to stop a new kind of enemy, different from any we have ever fought before. This enemy is patient, building resources and striking where and when we are least prepared. The enemy uses a different method each time. This enemy requires a new kind of defense, and that is what this conference report is attempting to build. I agree with President Bush when he says that our Armed Forces must be ready to confront every threat from any source that could bring sudden terror and suffering to America.2 sources2002govinfo.gov

I want to say a big thanks to the chair and to the ranking member for all of their months of hard work on putting this cybersecurity bill together, and it is a bipartisan Intelligence Committee bill. We all know the private sector is a…
I thank the chairman. Mr. Chairman, this is Washington, so we have to have an acronym for everything up here. The IPAB isn't a new techie device but is an example of one of the many misguided parts of the budget-busting health care reform…
Make no mistake, the invalidation of the Silvicultural Rule is only one of the many sources of regulatory uncertainty facing our professional loggers.
I don't think it should be in a position of withholding or removing approval of drugs that treat fatal illnesses.

We are losing--we stand a really strong shot of losing some really good top notch doctors.
When the lives of Americans are threatened on our very own border why would not a task force--a true task force to look into this--be created?
We oppose this health care law for many reasons. I'm especially concerned about the negative effect it may have on the ability of our doctors to care for their patients as they see fit. It creates well over 156 bureaucracies, programs, and…
I think like everyone else who is here, I'm here today in support of this resolution, not only because it recognizes what happened in that tragic situation that just shocked and saddened all of us on Saturday, but I think most people in…
